Hi all

 

Is it possible to run a 2016 DHCP server on a 2008R2 Domain?

 

Thanks

    Hi  ReggieDaMole 

     

     

    It is possible to use a 2016 DHCP server with 2008R2 DC. We are currently having this working in our live production and they are talking to each other as normal.

     

    I reckon The "Dynamic Host Configuration (DHCP)" Protocol works on different boxes, you should even be able to provide DHCP even via a linux server.

     

    Thank you
